Topics, sessions and talks
A person’s sex assigned at birth, gender identity, and gender expression can all be different. And who someone is attracted to —their sexual orientation—is not related to sex assigned at birth, gender identity or gender expression. And neither of these are choices or fads.
Understand the practical as well as scientific and medical barriers to healthcare and clinical trials that trans people face, and actions that can be taken to knock down these barriers and create more inclusive, safe spaces of belonging for trans patients. Includes terminology, pronouns and chosen name usage, creating gender-inclusive environments, and the importance of medical and site staff training.
This intimate session includes Liam's legal, social, and medical (including complications I had after his gender-affirming top surgery) transition. In this session, Liam helps his audience understand that transitioning is not a choice – and that it is unique to every trans and non-binary person. This can be quite an emotional session for Liam as a speaker, and for the audience members.
In this session Liam allows the audience to ask him anything (as long as it’s not disrespectful) about what it’s like to be transgender, and anything related to the trans community.
Liam brings a unique blend of personal experience and professional expertise in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging, and Acceptance (DEIBA), making him an invaluable asset for educating your team on transgender issues. His work with Trans Can Work and participation in high-profile events underscore his ability to engage and inspire audiences towards creating more inclusive environments. Booking Liam will not only enrich your organization's understanding but also demonstrate a commitment to fostering a truly inclusive workplace.

Liam Paschall's sessions cover transgender identity and terminology, healthcare and clinical trial inclusion for trans people, and personal transition experience.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
